grief
The southern part of Greece has been almost completely destroyed by huge fires.
Fire is still burning forests and villages leaving ashes and dead bodies behind.
There are no words to describe the tragedy.
Greece is now in state of emergency.

Παναγιά Μπούργκου - Rhodes, Greece
Panaghia Bourgou is a late gothic church dating from the 14th century. It was bombed during World War II and today the three apses of the sanctuary are what remain.
Cholomontas mountain - Chalkidiki Greece
The dense vegetation of Mt Cholomontas, its rich fauna and the sublime view that its wonderful landscapes boast are particularly appreciated by alternative tourism and agrotourism lovers. Lushly greened with pines, firs, chestnuts and age-long oaks, the mountain is traversed by many brooks and abounds in springs with crystal-clear cool water. White-clad in winter and offering sweet, refreshing air in summer, the unpolluted massif of Cholomontas stretches all over the subprefectures of Arnaia and Polygyros.
It is worth your while to explore the slopes of this mountain, arrive to the hospitable mountain village of Taxiarchis and experience a different contact with nature. Mt Cholomontas will come as a great revelation to all those who have believed so far that Chalkidiki is only renowned for its coasts.
